There is a mIsapprehension as to the amount to the credit of the school fund n the hands of the County Treas urer. It is true that on the 18th inst, there was but S1.271.25, bat since that time S1,771.79 has been collected, making inc total $8,043.O4. and of the delinquency it is reasonably supposed that $500 more will yet ie collected ye syg cling ant to41s credit of that fund to S3,543.04. In addition to the foregoing sum there will be Ter ritorial apportionment-how much is a question. In order to unlock the money now in the County Treasury to tue credit of the county schools, it is proposed that the Chairman Of the Board of Supervisors, the County Treasurer and Clerk of the Beard of Supervisors, constituting a Board of Electors, shall name County Super intendent, if not Probate Judge, to make the apportronment of sums standing to the credit of schools, thus relieving teachers to whom the Trus tees are in arrears.

Snfetx on Railroads.

There is no denying the fact that within
the last few years the railroads have
made many improvements looking to the
comfort and safety of their passengers
For instance, one who Travelled from Sa-
yannah to Atlanta ten years ago will find
hejourney now incOmparably more pleas
ant than it was then. But, with all the
Improvements, there yet remain others OF
vital Importance to be made.
The perils of travel in winter Will never
be diminished until better method of
heating cars has been devised. The
lighting OF cars ia also matter that de-
mands serious attention However safe
rails and roadbeds may be accidents are
not unavoidable, and whenever they
occur the loss of life is rendered much
more probable on account OF red hot
stoves and kerosene lamps.
These are not the only matters that de-
mand attention. The railroads too often
use cars that are known to be in unsafe
condition, either from long continued use
without necessary repairs, or from fail
ure to provide them with proper equip
menta. Speaking Of this subject, Col. A. .
W. Soper, OF New York, prominent rail
road man, said few days ago: "a friend
of mine VINO came to town last night was
ON car on which two axles broke. Three
or four days ago on the same road heard
of an axle breaking in the
same way. have attributed it
to the putting on of steel wheels, the old
aXles bang retained. IL was generally
understood that these old axies would be
throwu aside after being used year.
Their use has been continued three, four,
or five years, as the case might be, and
now they are beginning 10 break" TIE
accidents mentioned by Col. 5Oper were
Inc results OF gross carelessness, which
had no other excuse than the desire to
avoid expense.
How shall the railroads be compelled TO
make necessary improvements In view
OF their seeming Indifference there ia but
one answer to the question. Congress.
which in these days appears 10 have the
power to do what it pleases, should in.
struct the Interstate Commerce COmmls-
sion 10 require the railroads to provide
proper equipments. ii this should not
prove feasible then let the railroad COM
missions of the several States interfere
and force the railroads to take the neces-
sary precautions to insure the safety OF
the limbs ana lives Of their passengers.
t is well enough to keep expenses down
10 as low a figure MS possible, because
nobody expects the railroads to be CD.
Grated without profit, But anxiety to
obtain big dividends should not be
allowed to stand in the way OF the very
strongest guarantee OF safety. The sub
ject is one that calls for wise and vigor-
GUS legislation.

A Convict Colony.

An interesting incident in connection
with the distant Australian continent,
destined one day, perhaps, to play its
part in the worlds drama, as a new
empire, is the transfer by the British I'm
perial government of the management of
the convict establishment in Western
Australia to the colonial government.
IL is the winding up of the English trans
portati0n establishments in Australia,
founded more than 100 years ago.
In 1850 the colony of Western Australia
was fast approaching extinction Its
population then was estimated at 5000;
in 1894 it was 32,958. The revenue in
1850, was E19, 063; in 1884, it was $3.50, 3l9.
In 1894, the imports were fl2S 260; In
1884, 952l l61. In 1854 the exports were
&36, 245; in 1884, f405.693. Western Aus
tralia ROASTED no such attractions as ia
v0red the growth of the other colonies on
the continent. 1t owes its prosperity
solely to the developments effected by
the 1869 cOnyicts,to the free immigration
maintained at the expense of the English
government to counterbalanca the con
Wet elem ent, and TO the warGens aud
oilers connected with the convict estab-
lishment.
Mr.. Stone, the Superintendent, reports
as follows: "The prisoners, as body,
have been well behaved, and l am hap
by 80 say that in no single instance has it
been found necessary to resort to corpo-
raj punishment, and the proportion Of
serious crime among the ticket-Of-leave
holders has been very small" The crea-
ton OF a convict colony under conditions
which long eXperie &c proysd necessary
to Its success has been a costly mode OF
disposing OF cOnyicts.
In the ten years commencing with 1895.
no fewer than 3,377 convicts wero sent
out TO the colony. In 1886 alone no fewer
than 4,273 were transported. Fifty years
later this annual transportation had
diminished to 1,027, OF whom SO only re-
maineu on the hands OF the government,
the remainder being at large on ticket-or-
leave a. the time OF the transfer to the
colonial government. OF the English
penal system il may be said with truth
that nc country under the sun has dealt
with the Outcasts OF society with the hui
manity, the wisdom, or the success that
has attended English legislation In this
direction.

ments whereof shall have beea increased
during such time"
That constitutional provision settles
the case OF Mr.. Morrison and every other
Congressman who, having been defeated
tor a reelection, looked for place on
this Interstate Commerce Commission.
If the President should not appoint the
commission until after the adjournment
of Congress there might be chance for
some OF the defeated Congressman, nut it
is understood that he wants the Commits
sioners appointed and confirmed before
Congress adjOurns.
1t is rumOred that Mr.. George II. Pen
dleton, Minister to Germany, has been
called home to take the Craftsmanship of
the commission, but this rumOr lacks
confirmation. 1t appears to be under
stood, however, that Dir. Pendleton is
coming home to stay. Like Mr.. Cox, he
has had enough OF diplomacy and diplO-
matte life. There is no doubt that five
men OF high character and marked ability
will be appointed Comm issioners. 1t will
require men of that Kind to make the law
anything Ike a success.

! The American Cotton oil Trust Is not
such q powerful monopoly as it evidently
aimed to be at the beginning of the pres
| eut cotton season. When the cotton seed
OF the present cotton crop began to appear
/ IN the market the monopoly had secured
! about % per cent. OF the cotton seed oil
mills OF the country, aud had about scared
the other per cent into compliance with
| its policy. 1t is alleged that it began the
seasons business with the avOwed object
of forcing down the price Of cotton seed
and or forcing up the price OF its own pro-
ducts. This was a very good policy for
itself Dut very bad one for the cotton
planters. 1t was so bad for the planters
that they came to the conclusion that It
wouldn't do for them at all.
They did not see any way, however, to
defeat the scheme OF the monopoly. 1t
was plain to them that opposition mills
were out OF the question. The capital 10
build them was lacking, and, besides, it
would be Impossible for them to compete
successfully with the monopoly. The
planters even talked about cooperative
mills, and also about com binng to with
hold their cotton seed from market, with
he idea Of forcing the monopoly to
offer a more reasonable price for 1t.
All OF their suggestions, however, were
regarded as impracticable, because. OF the
difficulty of securing harmonious action
throughout so great 81 extent OF terri
tory. Finally, however, great many OF
the planters came te me conclusion that
it would paw them better TO use the seed
for fertiliziug uaaa2ses than to sell it
to the monopoly on the mOnopOly's own
terms. Tdis Conclusion was wise one.
and the monopoly soon discovered that to
get enough seed to run their mills they
would have to pay some where near what
the seed i'd worth.
Cotton planters are now getting bet
ter price for seed. They have discovered
a way to fight the monopoly successfully
They have only to utilize their discovery
to secure faIr price for their cotton seed.
This seed is valuable to them as a fertlli-
ger, and if they VIII always use it for
fertlizing purposes, when the monopoly
refuses to pay what it is worth,
they will have the monopoly at their
merry luSIedu vi oelh5 at 'nS mercy VI
the monopoly.
1t has been stated that the American
Cotton Oil Trust is the Standard OIL Com
Dany. Whether it is or not, it is very
powerful monopoly, and pursues about
the same methods that the Standard OIL
Company does. The latter company is
reaching out in many directions for ways
to proftably employ Its surplus millions.
1t is said that it is aiming to control the
production of the naval stores manufac-
turers. If this be true, the manutac-
turers should be careful that they do
not permit themselves to be drawn
wholly within its power.
